Tactics He casts misdirection whenever he expects to be involved in a public scene. He considers himself a gentleman, even though his interests run to murder and cruelty. He engages in physical combat only as a last resort. When he fights, he utilizes combat expertise to full effect, saving hideous laughter for use against foes who seem to be more brawn than brains. He attempts to flee if brought below 10 hit points, but fights to the death if no escape seems possible.
